Considering that if you really want the entertainment of S.F., you can always BART in in 1 hr tops and then go back to the suburb and not deal with all the noise, dirt, panhandlers, parking inconveniences and myriad of other issues.
It's not about entertainment for me. It's about connection. I find that when I live away from noise and dirt, I start to think I deserve things like fresh water and a driveway. That's a very disconnecting way to think in that very many people in the world would not connect with that way of thinking. My thoughts are more calm and happy when I have that connection.

Are you migrating out of state... or into the City?

What is Patrick's agenda? :0)
Mostly I just hate the current system that throws generations of new buyers to the wolves over and over again. I myself was in that situation and it bent my brain to the point where I had to do something about it.
Beyond that, I'd like to make money somehow. I just refuse to make money by cooperating with the evil current system of "everyone against the buyer". The buyers need someone on their side, and I think they'll pay something if they see the value.

We're moving back into the Valley grinder. Los Altos to be specific. My better half took a role as a CFO for a valley company and I'm able to work out of our 1 Market location in SF, so we split the commute.
If I were to live in the city, the only way I would do it would be to get a rent controlled apartment in sunset district, that's about it
I used to have a rent-controlled apartment in the Sunset district. I traded that for a rent-controlled apartment in North Beach. It's noisy. I now pay for parking. Drunks are breaking bottles in the street on Friday and Saturday nights. But, somehow, I'm much happier. I think of noise as texture and rather enjoy city sounds.

You wouldn't know it from reading stories planted by the California Association of Realtors and Dataquick (which gets all its income from realtors), but San Francisco prices have actually been falling lately:
